Virat and Rohit make rivals look silly; great to watch them: KL Rahul

India skipper KL Rahul marvelled at the ability of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to make the opposition look "silly" after the stalwarts came up with defining knocks against South Africa in the first ODI here on Sunday. Kohli made his 52nd ODI hundred, a 120-ball 135, and Rohit a well-crafted 57 as India celebrated a tight 17-run win over the Proteas to take 1-0 lead in the three-match series. "Watching Rohit and Kohli play like that is always fun. They've made oppositions look silly and show why they are who they are. I've seen this for a long time, it's a lot more fun to see them around in the dressing room," said Rahul in the post-match presentation. However, the close nature of the match made him a bit nervous towards the end. "I'd be lying if I said there were no butterflies in my stomach. We're playing ODI cricket after a while. There's some expectation. "But we kept taking wickets and the bowlers stuck to their plans. They pushed us and kept coming hard." The wicketkeeper b

AB de Villiers calls Kohli-Rohit a generational combo fans should honour

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are a "generational combo" of talent and cricket fans should celebrate the remainder of their glorious careers, says AB de Villiers while terming the critics of the two Indian superstars as "cockroaches". Facing intense scrutiny since last few months which saw both Kohli and Rohit retiring from Test cricket and T20Is, they made international comebacks during the recent ODI series in Australia, which India lost 1-2. It was their last tour of Australia and both Kohli and Rohit walked off on a high, with the former scoring 74 not out in his final innings Down Under and the latter winning the Player of the Series award after scores of 73 and 121 not out in the last two matches. "Rohit, another hundred. Back in the runs (is) the Biscotti, going strong and I am looking forward to what's sort of ahead," de Villiers said on his Facebook page. "I honestly just think, if you're a fan of cricket, it's just really time to celebrate players like these. It's not ofte
